AD2/KSM8 Overview
The Shure AD2/KSM8 is a professional handheld transmitter designed for the Axient Digital wireless system, combining the acclaimed KSM8 dual-diaphragm cardioid capsule with the advanced RF performance and spectrum management capabilities that demanding live production, broadcast, and touring environments require. Operating in the K54 frequency band (606-663 MHz), it supports High Density mode for maximizing channel counts in congested RF environments and includes AES-256 encryption for secure audio transmission. Rechargeable power with dockable charging compatibility reduces operating costs and simplifies logistics for touring companies, houses of worship, and broadcast facilities. The transmitter is built for engineers and system integrators who require uncompromising audio quality alongside enterprise-grade RF reliability.
The all-metal construction provides the durability required for repeated use in live production environments, and the choice of black or nickel finish allows it to suit a range of stage aesthetics and presenter preferences.
